• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_REL032 - Unit conversion is only possible at product level ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_REL032 indicates that there is an issue with unit conversion in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) within SAP. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to perform a unit conversion at a level that is not supported, such as at the location or planning version level, rather than at the product level.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM) Configuration: The error often occurs when the system is trying to convert units of measure for a product, but the conversion is not defined or is incorrectly set up in the system.
  Planning Levels: The operation being performed may be at a level (like location or planning version) that does not support unit conversion, which is only allowed at the product level.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data for the product, such as missing or incorrect unit of measure settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Product Master Data: Ensure that the product master data is correctly set up with the appropriate units of measure. This includes checking the base unit of measure and any alternative units of measure defined for the product.
  Review Unit Conversion Settings: Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) and verify that the unit conversion factors are correctly defined for the product in question.
  Perform Operations at the Correct Level: Ensure that any operations involving unit conversion are being performed at the product level. If you are trying to perform a conversion at a different level, adjust your approach to focus on the product level.
  Check Planning Version and Location: Make sure that the planning version and location settings are compatible with the product level settings. If necessary, adjust the planning version or location to align with the product data.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on unit conversions and APO settings.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CUNI for unit conversion, C223 for product master data, and C202 for checking the product hierarchy.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for potential patches or updates that may address the issue.
  APO Configuration: Review the configuration settings in APO related to product planning and unit of measure handling to ensure they are set up correctly.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP APO for further assistance.
